    I dont know if any of you remember my recent build thread.
    Which is located here
    http://www.3reef.com/forums/show-off-your-fish-tanks/75g-upgrade-68236.html
    But i purchased that setup for $125 thinking i was going to sell my 55g for more than what i paid for that.
    Well.... I had no bites Cash wise.....
    Instead i found this!!!!!!!
    75g bowfront drilled with corner overflow and sump!!!
    Guy was downgrading and traded straight up for my 55gallon.
    Now i am stuck between a rock and hard spot. Should i keep my current 75g up and running??? or change all my livestock over to the 75gallon bowfront????
    Either way im selling my mother the system im not keeping. I belive she likes the Oak of the regular 75g.
    bowfront is better though isint it???
    Opinions please

    MMmmmmm. That is tough. Personally I like the bowfront better, but I'm not sure if it would be worth the transfer.

    Yes there both drilled and include sump.

    Bulkhead was a little loose but fixed already

    I have the 72g Bow front. It looks much better than the 75g retangular. But, for the rock works, it's a bit harder to do since it's only 12" on both sides and 18" in the middel while the 75g is 18" all across.
